I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING. IF I DID, I WOULD MAKE PARKER GET WITH HARDISON SOONER, AND MAKE NATE GET DRUNK MORE.

"You know, she was broken, you understand that, Parker was broken, and you had no, you should have taken her in..."
"And what? Taken her home like a real daughter? This is my wife Maryland, my grandsons, I love them dearly. They think I'm an accountant. What was I supposed to do? You know Parker; you know she wouldn't fit in. God, she doesn't fit in anywhere."
"But she was good enough to send into a death trap huh?"

Parker stood there, tears threatening to spill over her ice blue eyes. She wiped them furiously, and then thought about what she had heard.
She was glad Eliot stuck up for her…somewhat. When had Archie become so….cold? She didn't remember him like this.
She put all the thoughts swirling around her head to the back of her mind, and ran, the Steranko not showing any signs of stopping.

"You okay?" Nate asked Parker, smiling slightly as he watched the blonde thief have a moment with Archie.
"Yeah" Parker replied, not giving much detail about her emotions…not that she ever did.
"What'd he talk to you about?"
"Oh, you know…thief stuff…." She replied. After driving back to HeadQuarters, she went into the bathroom, slamming the door.
Sophie stood there, unsure of what to do. She had no idea what upset the thief. Parker had just seen Archie, her almost father, what could she be upset about?
Sophie glanced at Nate and Eliot, who had just walked in. Eliot heard Parker shut the door, and went to knock.
"Darling, come on, open up, I ain't gonna bite."
He stood there, awkwardly for a few minutes, and was about to leave, when he heard the lock unclick, and the door open slightly. He pushed it open, and saw Parker sitting in the bathtub, her eyes red, and slightly puffy.
"Darling, what's wrong? I thought you'd be happy to see'm again."
"At first I was…" Parker started, messing with the hem of her shirt.
"..But then…I overheard you guys….talking about me. Archie…talking about how I wouldn't fit in."
"Parker, you would have. You fit in here, so I'm pretty sure you can fit in anywhere" Eliot told her, and watched her face light up, which didn't happen often. He knew it was a slight lie, she would have been awkward there, but he knew she had them, and that's all that mattered.

Thanks for reading. Please review! Oh, and I need help coming up with another story! -Parkerxx
